[Q] Disabling HTC Sync Manager from auto-start when phone plugged in

This may be stupid, but couldn't find any cure...As title says - anyone knows how to disable the thing from auto-starting when I plug in my One X into the PC? Thanks

Do you use it HTC Sync Manager or did you install it just because of the drivers? If only because of the drivers, uninstall the whole thing and leave the drivers installed. Here's only the drivers if someone needs them: http://www.mediafire.com/?fye0ryom9wuyvrm (someone posted this on another thread, I take no credit).
If you do use HTC Sync Manager, one quick and easy way I found was to disable the HTCMonitorService.

Thanks for the input.
It is uninstalled and I don't use it. The thing is that the moment I plug in my phone, either of these happens:
- The setup of the Sync Manager starts automatically (if not installed), so I have to cancel it manually every time;
- The Sync manager itself launches (if installed).
There's no windows service or entry in the registry, nothing. It's obviously in the phone itself as an image, as the installation appears in my PC as a virtual drive the moment I plug in my phone.
I'm using JB.

You can try the auto-run settings in windows, or if you feel brave about it (and if rooted or maybe not, since i didnt try this) remove the htc stuff from your phone

Auto-run settings seems to be ignored, phone not rooted yet, but I was hoping to resolve this on Windows level...

I changed the auto-run settings and i dont get any messages anymore

Also did it but setting is ignored for some reason. Will try again, thanks. Now at least I know this *should* normally work

The autorun settings is one way to solve the problem but you'll still see a "cd drive" in Explorer when the phone is connected and I, for one, don't like that. If you want to "fix" that, connect your phone to the PC and press "Windows Key + Pause/Break", open "Device Manager" and under "DVD/CD-ROM drives" disable the one relevant to the phone.
You'll still be able to browse the files in the phone within Explorer, it's just the "cd drive" with HTC Sync Manager installation that won't appear anymore.

But of course! Can't believe I didn't think of that, thanks man! :good:

Worked like a charm, thanks @samhill22

You can also do what I do, go into your phone settings, apps, all, then scroll down to you see HTC Sync Manager and disable that. That'll prevent the installer from running on any computer. I havent seen any problems with my phone by doing this either, I still auto sync to drive and cloud services, all sync's work on my phone still like weather and account, and syncing music to say SongBird still works.

[Q] MTP USB Device?

I thought I was doing great after uninstalling bloatware. However, when I tried to connect my Note 2 to my PC via USB I received the error that MTP USB Device driver could not be loaded. Apparently I must have uninstalled something on my Note 2 that is not allowing me to connect to the PC via USB. I have been searching for days, read many postings with the same problem, downloading various Driver apps to no avail. I even downloaded and installed Samsung Drivers which also did not work. I still can use my USB plug from NOTE 2 to my Flash Drive to get stuff transfered to/from Note2/PC.
It never ends. Fix one thing and then another pops up. LOL
What else can I say except - H-E-L-P.

What de-bloater tool did you use ?
Does it show the apps it uninstalled ?
By default any de-bloater should only delete apps from /system/app and
/data/app.
Have you considered starting over by flashing root injected stock Rom?

I did not use any de-bloater. I used Titanium Backup Pro (TBP) and have a complete list of all apks uninstalled.
In TBP under Backup/Restore all apks uninstalled are listed. Plus, I kept a list of all that I deleted.
No, I have not considered starting over by flashing root injected stock ROM. Thought about it, however, if I
do flash, I'm back to square one.
If I don't resolve this one problem, I will remain at this point until new OS comes out. I do have a work around for time being.
I do appreciate your help, time and concern. Thank you.
What really amazes me is that this problem is all over the Internet and I can't find a simple solution. I have Googled it,
been on here doing searches, reading postings, etc. I have even tried Driver Booster.

Tried this and again no success.
Method 3 – Ensure you have the right settings By default my phone was already set to the right settings for USB file transfers so I’ll assume most of these ship with the same configuration, hence why I have this as method 3. I found this on a forum and while it did not work for me, it seems a few other folks declared it a success.
1. Launch the phone key pad on your note and press *#7284# (don’t forget to start with that * symbol!) When you press the last pound sign (#) this will bring up an option that will allow you to change your USB connection settings (modem or PDA) – change it to PDA.
I did not get any option that allowed me to change the USB Connection settings when I entered *#7284#. So I dialed that number and got an error Unable to process request.
Tried new USB cable and it still tried to load/install device drivers but not successful. Same error MTP USB Device Failed.
Thanks again for trying to help. I do appreciate your help and time. Still looking for a resolution.

I am trying to find out if you have all the files and compare with my files to find out why I can access phone utility and you can't. Your issue may be the driver or files idk. Tbh, I am not an expert. Just another android enthusiast trying to help. I have Tweaked Rom so mine may be different. I have found 2 system files in TBU, Service Mode and MTP Application. Do you have them also? Does service mode work for you when you dial, for example, *#0011#?

SUCCESS-Thanks to Y-O-U!!!!

[Q] How to see ALL files when connected to PC??

Hi all....
Just got my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition tablet and have a question. When connected to my PC as a media device....I can see some of the files, but not ALL of the files (specifically the ones that start with a "."). Is there some setting on windows or android that would allow me to see ALL of the files and not just the ones that Android deems relevant?

Install SamsungLink on your PC and N10.1-14. It'll allow you to access all of your files on both devices from anywhere via Wi-Fi. It'll give you access to your PC files at the highest level of Windows directory structure.

Hey thanks. I tried this, but maybe I'm missing something. What I'm looking for is when I connect my tablet to my PC, I want to be able to see into the "dot" directories (the ones that start with a period). I cannot see that currently.

SamsungLink provides top-level directory access to the devices it's loaded on. I can see all my files on my PC and Android devices. I've never looked for anything like you've described so can't really provide any new detail.

[HELP] Cannot connect to PC using usb cable.

Hello,
I have Lumia 930 with W10M ....yesterday,i deployed "root app" and "CustomPFD" .xaps to my device...to get Interop Unlock and Full FS Access,but i think i do something what i shouldnt do...
My probles is: when i connect my device to PC using same USB cable as yesterday an any other day....it just pop up messenge about slow charger,normalny its pop up if i wanna use cable to move items and stuff from/to my device...but now i just cannot connect my L930 to PC....it just charges my phone...can u guys please tell me how to solve this problem??

It happened to me yesterday. The issue is activating full MTP access. It doesen't work properly. It has a slim chance for your pc to detect the system files. I recommend you use customPDF registry editor to revert the changes (search this forum). Or factory reset will do, but it will be a hassle setting up your phone all over again.

I searched....and tryed that "enable and disable" method in CustomPFD...i seriously dont wanna factory reset my phone...ohhh....that so bad
EDIT: Oh.nothing works....i think i need to do factory reset...when its done ill post next EDIT if it works

You have to do it manually. I found this. This is the exact process i did with cPDF.
navigate this path :
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MTP
edit Data Store value to c:\Data\Users\Public and hit Write button .
that's it
Unplug/replug your phon until the system detects it.

Did you restart? And press write like 10x. Unplug your phone, wait. If it did not work, just unplug/replug until your pc detects it.

same problem

Having this issue on my Lumia 830. I did the registry changes (tried combo of upper/lowercase for the registry key) and nothing worked.
Eventually, after trying boot mode (the ! window) I am locked out of all my jailbreak apps. I suspect the boot loader (holding the volume key down until the ! screen loads) locked my capabilities.
Oh well. Windows Recovery Tool says there's new Firmware for the 830 (much newer than what's on my phone). Yet another full restore is in the works for me. Hope anyone reading this doesn't make the same mistake I did!

Tried Everything... Can't see Nexus 7 LTE on any computer... HELP

Recently bought a used Nexus 7 LTE for my son to use after he broke his tablet. Trying to get Lineage OS on it but I cannot see it via USB on anything...
Windows 8 - Doesn't see the device at all, nothing listed in Device Manager. Device is charging off USB cable.
Tried 5 known good cables. Same cable on same computer with different devices works.
Ubuntu - Nothing shows in lsusb - Same as above, tried many cables and all charge the device but nothing will connect.
Device has USB Debugging enabled, I've also tried it disabled.
MTP is enabled, also tried the PTP with same results.
I have tried the official Google drivers as well as older drivers found within these forums.
Not even a generic or invalid device shows in Device Manager on Windows.
Used Android Studio to install Google Drivers, still nothing.
I've tried factory reset and wipe cache partitions. Never shows up.
I am assuming at this point the device has a bad USB port. I am hoping perhaps I missed something and someone knows what that is. I've culled the forums and a LOT of these had similar issues but mostly driver related. I cannot even see it to try different drivers. Some were cable but I've tried many cables that work in other devices.
Are there any other ways to connect to the device to do the OEM unlock and install TWRP and Lineage?
Device is bone stock with Android 5.1 (BUILD LMY470) - Connects to WiFi and LTE network just fine.

Fixed
RESOLVED:
Installed a Root app (KingRoot) and rooted device.
Installed official TWRP app, downloaded and installed TWRP bootloader
Downloaded latest Nightly of Lineage OS, used Astro File manager to move to root
Rebooted into TWRP, Wiped System/Data/Cache/Dalvik
Installed Lineage OS ROM.
Rebooted.
Profit.

It is an interesting workaround but the main issue is not resolved. It looks like a hardware fault, there are 3 possibilities:
1 broken data contacts of the USB port
2 unsoldered data lines between the USB port and the PCB
3 disconnected USB data lines between the daughterboard and motherboard
Most likely is #2 but the easiest is #3 which can be fixed by re-seating of the wide, silver cable interconnecting the PCBs. All you have to do:
- disconnect the battery
- unlock the cable's connectors
- pull out and push it back in
- relock
- reconnect the battery
Good luck.

Hi all,
Apologies in advance for using this post but I have a similar issue with my device. I accidentally ejected the device while I was transferring some data to my computer instead of a memory stick. Usually the computer should say operation is invalid since the device is in use however without any prompts it ejected the device.
So now when I plug my Nexus into my laptop via USB the device is recognised for a second and disconnects and then reconnects and carries on this pattern. I've tried a number of different methods that I researched online including:
Deleting the drivers and reinstalling them
Changing USB power settings
None of the above and fixed the issue of being unable to connect to my computer via USB. Has anyone come across this problem before and if so can you recommend a potential fix?

Hi, while it appears that your PC is responsible for the issue, please check the N7 on another PC or with a OTG drive. When you're sure your N7 and USB cable are OK, we can fix the PC but what OS is on it? If it is Windows then do the following:
- disconnect N7
- run "regedit.exe"
- delete these keys
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB\Vid_18d1&Pid_4ee1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB\Vid_18d1&Pid_4ee2​- reboot PC
- reboot N7
- connect N7
OK?

Hi k23m,
Thank you the reply. I can confirm one of the first things I tried was connecting the device to a different laptop - where it connected properly. Both laptops are using Windows 10 and I've tried different USB cables to confirm that the wire isn't at fault either - so know my original laptop has the issue.
So I've attempted your the instructions you mentioned and the first thing I noticed was when I was in the Registry Editor there was no 4ee1 and just 4ee2. I attempted to delete the registry files for 4ee2 and came across the error messaged that states, 'Cannot delete VID_18D1&PID_4EE2: Error while deleting key.'. I had a look on the internet to see if there was a solution to deleting the files and it mentioned to modify the permissions as well as using a few programs to delete them. However after attempting these instructions still luck in deleting them.
Any further suggestions?
Thanks

Please get https://github.com/jschicht/RunAsTI and extract it, then...
- right-click RunAsTI64.exe and run it as admin
- in the newly created command window type and run "regedit"
- delete the VID_18D1&PID_4EE2 key
- search the entire registry for ALL "VID_18D1&PID_4EE1" keys and delete them (if found any)
- reboot PC!
Also, can you confirm that a different device connects properly to the faulty PC using the MTP protocol? If not, then deleting 4EE1/4EE2 will not help and the issue will have to be further explored.

Hello B3.mach, let's summarize:
N7-MTP --> PC1 /NO
N7-MTP --> PC2 /OK
phone-MTP --> PC1 /OK
Re-confirmed?
Can you see any meaningful logs in Windows Event Viewer around the time of N7-MTP --> PC1? If so, quote them. To stimulate more logs kill the MTP-responsible WudfHost.exe process while you attempt N7-MTP --> PC1 and re-connect N7.
Next, please try these:
N7-fastboot --> PC1?
N7-TWRP-MTP --> PC1?
N7-PTP --> PC1?
Finally, let's do a total clean-up of all N7's traces in the system:
- disconnect N7
- delete all "VID_18D1&PID_4EE1" keys from the registry yet again
- delete all *.inf files which contain "VID_18D1&PID_4EE1" from C:\Windows\inf\ folder
- reboot
- connect N7
It has to work now

Hi k23m,
It seems by doing a fastboot connection it fixed the issue - not sure as to why it did it but thank you!
But to confirm as I was going through your instructions -
N7-MTP --> PC1 /NO
N7-MTP --> PC2 /OK
phone-MTP --> PC1 /OK
Correct
I had a look in the event viewer during the time of the mishap and couldn't see any useful logs that related to the any errors.
So as I was working my way down to your instructions, I did a fastboot and the issue seemed to have stopped and the N7 connects to my laptop without disconnecting.
Thank you for your helpful instructions and your patience with helping me resolve the issue.
Best regards,
b3
